Job Description

Civil Fraud Associate – Work That Actually Excites You (And Pays Properly)

Salary: £100,000 – £120,000

PQE: 1+ years (civil litigation experience required)

Let’s cut to the chase. You didn’t rack up a mountain of student debt and years of training just to push paper on mid-level contract disputes that never see daylight. You're here because you want the kind of cases that people whisper about in court corridors.

This team? They're not just good – they're elite. Regularly instructed on billion-dollar frauds, cross-border litigation that jumps jurisdictions like a Bond villain, and cases where you're dealing with urgent freezing orders, asset tracing missions, and major hearings in the High Court.

But what’s in it for you (beyond the obvious prestige)?

Real Progression, Not Just Lip Service

You won’t be sat warming the bench for 5 years hoping someone retires. Associates here are given trust early, take ownership of matters, and get direct client exposure from the off. If you’re good, you’ll be seen. And yes, that means real partnership prospects too.

Development That Actually Develops You

No awkward ‘CPD tracker’ nonsense here. Think global secondments, regular international marketing trips (hello, business class), and training that’s tailored to you. You’re not a cog, you’re an asset—and they invest like it.

Flexible Benefits That Don’t Just Sit in a Brochure

Pick what matters most to you – gym subsidy, private medical (you and the family), dental cover, retail discounts, enhanced maternity / paternity, hybrid, critical illness and income protection and more. Whether you want to get your teeth sorted, join a swanky yoga class, or save on your weekly shop, it’s your call.

Wellbeing Isn’t a Poster on the Wall

We’re talking mental health support that’s proactive, not reactive. A proper wellbeing programme, enhanced parental leave, and a culture that actually respects when you log off. Because burnout isn’t a badge of honour.

Travel + Big Case Buzz

Most associates get stuck into international matters—so if you've got a passport and a taste for the high stakes, you’re in the right place. Expect real courtroom time, fascinating legal arguments, and work that’ll make you remember why you became a lawyer in the first place.

Who Are You?

You’re probably 1–4 years PQE Solicitor or Legal Executive, likely in civil litigation, with a natural appetite for the high-octane world of fraud, injunctions, and complex disputes. You write sharply, think commercially, and have enough backbone to challenge when it counts.

You want more than just “a role.” You want a place where you can thrive, be seen, and still have a life outside billing targets.
